How something moves through space depends on its mass, shape, velocity, and other factors. Analyzing the flight of a jet or orbit of a satellite requires understanding its moment of inertia.
Micrometer-sized silicon carbide stardust grains extracted from the Murchison meteorite formed anywhere from 1.5 million to 3 billion years before the formation of our solar system.
Former Secretary of Energy Rick Perry recognized Livermore staff with six Secretary’s Honor Awards at a ceremony at Department of Energy headquarters.
Livermore’s first in-house designed and fabricated CubeSat went into orbit in December.
With better representation of clouds, the latest generation of global climate models predict more warming in response to increasing carbon dioxide than their predecessors.
Navigational devices like the GPS system in your phone depend on gyroscopes to analyze the rotational motion of moving objects. Your phone contains a very sensitive gyroscope that determines how it moves along three axes of rotation.
The force of friction makes it possible for people to walk and cars to move, but it also causes our machines to wear down, and some of the energy we generate to be wasted as heat.
Life depends on motion over a wide range of scales, for example, the pulsing of blood through veins and arteries, the movement of people and vehicles from place to place, the migration of wildlife.
The velocity of objects often changes over time which we refer to as acceleration. Learn how to measure acceleration as you move your body and how to use your phone to determine the acceleration due to Earth’s gravitational
